Loooks like last release was 3 years agio. I think that it would be good to make new release out of already commited changes :)

I agree it would be good with a tagged and versioned release. It make life easier for the Linux distributions.

It is definitely time for a tagged and versioned release. This would be a good time to change the names of the distribution files. I proposed this awhile ago.

For the next release, I think we should either change both names (namespaced and non-namespaced releases). For new names, I suggest something parallel to Norm's name for the xslt20-stylesheets repo. He uses:

docbook-xslt2-2.3.7

so make the new names:

docbook-xslt1-db5-1.80.1 docbook-xslt1-db4-1.80.1

Note I changed "nons" to "db4" to indicate its intended usage with DocBook 4 and earlier. Since that number will never change, that would be a stable and more clear designation. I'm also proposing to add "db5" to the first name because I doubt there will ever be a DocBook 6.

I also changed "xsl" to "xslt1".

I believe by changing the names, users would have to understand the new names before blindly adopting them.

I'm open to other suggestions. Please let me know what you think.

Makes sense to me. It should make it easier for people to select the right stylesheets.

Since I've opened that ticket more changes have been commited and now https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets/compare/release/1.79.2...master shows 158 commits since last release. It is really substantial chunk of changes ..

Any progress? Someone who can make new release still is around? 🤔
